Playtime: Maureen Roffey

What a clever novelty board book! (It's not a true board book, but the pages are sturdy enough for totz.) Each page explores a playtime activity and has a pull-down tab that transforms the picture. A ballerina points her toes, a child reads a book, another skips rope.

The text is simple:

I'm a ballerina.I can point my toes.

Each spread explores a playtime activity. One of my favorites shows a girl painting a "big hairy spider" which began as a green dot.

Our Mission

readertotz, little sister site to readergirlz, is a board book blog dedicated to raising the profile and quality of infant/toddler books, the first genre in children's literature able to instill a love of reading.

Titles featured are books Joan and Lorie Ann purchase, library books, and/or publishing house submissions. Our responses are our honest opinions, sometimes with constructive feedback; but we only post about books we like, so you won't find any completely negative reviews/responses here.
